Log Message:
(cad/klayout) Updated 0.28.10 to 0.28.12

0.28.12          (2023-09-12):
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1477 Macro IDE: changing the colors does not have an effect
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1474 Throw a FATAL ERROR when multiple cellname have \ 
the same refnum
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1473 Ignore 'Summarize missing layers' when sending \ 
XOR result to other layout)
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1472 DEF path with first/last segment length < \ 
halfwidth are read wrong
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1471 Make warning about 'FOREIGN differs from MACRO \ 
name' more informative
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1470 DEF pinname VDD.extra1 should be written as VDD \ 
TEXT in gds/oasis
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1465 (maybe fixed) DRC crash at end of script
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1464 Layout#get_info and Layout#set_info not longer \ 
segfault on wrong layer index
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1460 CellRename dialog is larger now initially
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1307 (partial) Produce UNPLACED macros if \ 
location is provided
* Enhancement: New aliases for inline operators (e.g. "+=") in \ 
RBA::Region and similar classes
  Reasoning is that "+=" in Ruby is resolved into "+" and \ 
"=" which does not make
  use of the inline optimization. Using "join_with" instead will avoid \ 
this. Other alias:
  "join" for "+", "and" for "&", \ 
"and_with" for "&=", "not" for "-", \ 
"not_with" for "-=",
  "or" for "|", "or_with" for "|=", \ 
"xor" for "^" and "xor_with" for "^=".
* Bugfix: deep region 'transform' with plain shift was not working properly with \ 
scaled instances
* Bugfix: re-run of include-expanded DRC/LVS wasn't working
* Bugfix: Proper Python stack trace in debugger for Python 3.10
* Enhancement: Allowing to select cells by error markers too (so that PCells \ 
with errors can be selected)
* Bugfix: avoid a segfault in the properties dialog
* Enhancement: crash log now is shown in a more reliable way - but less fancy.
  In addition, a crash log is written 'klayout_crash.log' in the home path
  and the crash message is printed to error.
* Bugfix: Don't clear search when switching macro editor pages
* Enhancement: Macro editor file change notification now also is no longer a \ 
modal window
* Enhancement: Macro editor does not list __pycache__ directories
* Enhancement: Pick a tab in Macro editor from the context menu of tab bar
* Bugfix: moving a text with a non-centered vertical alignment now uses the \ 
right location
* Enhancement: 'copy interactive' will maintain selection
* Enhancement Better integration of partial mode - for example 'interactive \ 
move' now also acts on partial selection
* Bugfix: cleanup after deleting cells in partial mode - no new top cells appear
* Enhancement: package manager
  * So not update macros while installing: avoids transient error messages
  * Offer to autorun macros also after package update (so far only on package \ 
new installation
* Bugfix: Fixed a issue with the search box on the macro editor
  when switching to the replace text box, focus was passed to the text editor instead
* Enhancement: CIF reader progress now functional
* Enhancement: some speedup while sorting instances
* Bugfix: LayoutView does not longer need processEvents when saving an image to PNG

0.28.11          (2023-08-09):
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1307 (partial) LEF/DEF PIN labels are taken from NET, \ 
not PIN name
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1415 GDS2 files with meta info are not read by old \ 
versions of KLayout
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1422 DXF file parsing error, about spline curve
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1425 Python Binding / Layout / find_layer broken for \ 
layer "name"
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1428 Feature request: "%include" in macros \ 
should allow including XML files too
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1430 Add option to filter out geometric primitives \ 
from Marker Database Browser Info widget
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1432 strm2oas def ignores path segment after + VIRTUAL \ 
+ RECT
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1433 Fix def syntax error in \ 
testdata/lefdef/viasize2/test.def
* Bugfix: %GITHUB%/issues/1453 Zoom (in) function with selected layers \ 
significantly slower in newer releases
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1438 Provide a configuration option to switch \ 
back to old-style text selection (at origin only)
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1440 Relative margin for Marker Database Browser
* Enhancement: %GITHUB%/issues/1441 Support for label position in Marker \ 
Database Browser
* Enhancements:
  - Add a default extension to file names unless one is given
  - Selection on partial mode enhanced: allow selection of edge
    ends if edges overlap, graphical indicator for selected partial
  - Wheel events do no longer change Combo Box selections
  - DRC/LVS: log output overhead reduced for faster execution in
    small layout cases
  - Added RBA::Image/pya.Image constructor taking QImage and PixelBuffer
  - Point objects are native citizens now of the database and act as
    representatives for handles, better editing and visualization of
    the latter
  - Macro editor has "find previous" button now
  - Mitigate the effect of overriding a globally-defined technology
    with -nn on the command line by creating tech variants
  - LEF/DEF map files now allow LEFPINNAME and PINNAME purpose to
    map pin labels in a more consistent way
* Bugfix:
  - Tilde expansion wasn't working for layout write
  - Python specific API documentation did not mention disambiguation
    for property/method ambiguity
  - Python error messages are more readable and contain the exception
    class
  - PCell layer-type parameters did not work without a default value
  - Point-like PCell handles now cannot be spoiled any longer in partial
    mode
  - "Duplicate" was also duplicating cells or layers depending on the
    scope which was irritating. Now it's confined to geometry
  - DRC/LVS logs list the correct line also with include files
  - "report" wasn't working in DRC/LVS scripts for scripts only using
    external sources
  - Fixed a potential segfault on application exit
  - Enhancements to the macro editor's search & replace function -
    "replace and search next" wasn't working properly and other flaws
